If it were an app, then it could have been made much more powerful by allowing the magician to secretly instruct the app what card is being revealed and then ANY card could have been revealed. Perhaps this same inventor or someone else will come up with that app. That would be much better. KJ |

I was afraid that it was going to be a video, not an app, even though the ad does call it an app. Even if it is just a video, it still would have been fine if there was more than one card available. With just one, though, you can't even repeat. $40 for a trick that has only one force card? But, add to that the fact that you have to add 'something' to your phone, which I am assuming is a black flap or something behind the crystal, just to get the image to show up in the crystal, and this goes from something that looked really cool to something completely worthless. Very sad.

I think your all missing point completely.......You try playing a video from you phone and 'PROJECTING' it into the crystal......It can't be done......even if a spectator grabs the crystal runs a video clip they WILL NOT make it look like it is inside the crystal!!......the video is irrelevant here......with some simple editing and After Effects work you could have anything appear inside the crystal such as you £D head talking inside the crystal....
......The product IS NOT ABOUT the video!! its about the sydtem that allows this to work.....its bloody clever!! its a modern take on Peppers Ghost and the handling is well thought out....I repeat, this CAN NOT BE REPLICATED by a spectator and his phone!!. What I love about this is that even though its obvious the image is coming from the phone.....its how it appears in the crystal that can't be figured out if performed well.. IMO its one of the cleverest things Ihave ever seen using an iphone....

What your paying for is not a video of the card reveal....its the ability to make video LOOK LIKE ITS INSIDE THE BALL.....holding your iphone above the ball WILL NOT REPLICATE THIS!!

Yes, its very clever, and if practised the extra gimmicks are invisible to the spectator in a nightclub environment, this simply kills....I am a professional After Effects Compositor for Film & TV so I have no intention of using the videos supplied....I will make my own using the one supplied as a template.

I like the Pepper's Ghost comparison. That's pretty accurate.

BTW, when I say "purchase a real crystal ball", I mean purchase a real crystal ball in conjunction with purchasing 3D Crystal.

I just think that actually only the Crystal ball sold by them will work . I don't own the effect , but just think so .

If you can find another one, such as a glass ball, that's the same size, then that will work. You'd want it to be the same size, though, so it will match the animation on the phone.

I have it and I really like it! It looks amazing and can be customized to make all types of weird illusions.
